Following the history-making, billion-dollar success of Barbie<\/em>,<\/a> Margot Robbie<\/a>\u2019s next spate of big projects includes bringing one the most popular video games of all time, The Sims, to the big screen<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

First released by Maxis and Electronic Arts in 2000, the popular life simulation saw tens of millions of users the world over creating lives of their own design with virtual avatars: romances, wardrobes, interiors, babies. Robbie\u2019s production company, LuckyChap, whom she founded with Tom Ackerley<\/a> and Josey McNamara, has tapped Marvel\u2019s Loki<\/em> director Kate Herron to helm the film project. The group will join Roy Lee and Miri Yoon from Vertigo Entertainment.<\/p>\n

In February, LuckyChap signed a multi-year, first-look feature film deal with\u00a0Warner Bros. to collaborate on future projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cMargot, Tom and Josey have built a unique home for storytellers at LuckyChap, where filmmakers are doing incredible work in a supportive and creatively freeing environment,\u201d Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group co-chairs and CEO Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy said in a statement<\/a> last month. \u201cWe are excited to have Margot, Tom and Josey join our extended family, making movies of all sizes and genres for moviegoers the world over.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barbie<\/em> was the highest-grossing movie of 2023 as well as the biggest film in Warner Bros. studio\u2019s 100-year history.<\/p>\n

Like Barbie, <\/em>Robbie and co. will be rescuing The Sims<\/em><\/a> from development hell. In 2007, Fox attempted to release a movie on the video game but it was cancelled in 2019 in the wake of the Disney-Fox merger.<\/p>\n

While we\u2019re unsure how exactly this film might work\u2014every user\u2019s simulated experience is unique\u2014we\u2019ll always back our girl.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone\u2019s like, \u2018Are you having a break?\u2019 And I\u2019m like, \u2018You do know I\u2019m a producer, right? We don\u2019t get a break,\u2019\u201d Robbie told Deadline <\/a><\/em>recently. \u201cI also think everyone\u2019s probably sick of the sight of me for now. I should probably disappear from screens for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, if I did another movie too soon, people would say, \u2018Her again? We just did a whole summer with her. We\u2019re over it.\u2019\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":89037,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[23,16],"yoast_head":"\nMargot Robbie Set To
